Babies Notice Everything
My little nephew is going to be born very soon and we were all sitting around this morning very early, watching my sis rub her belly and think, “baby be born now” thoughts. Rowan, who has asked to nurse at least once a week for a full year after weaning, noticed there was something different between his Mom and his Auntie. Specifically, the “milks” are quite a bit larger for the laboring mother and quite a bit deflated for the Mommy-Who-Fed-Him.
Rowan: “Auntie gots big boobies?”
Me: “Yes, she has milk for baby Samuel”
Rowan: “Me like big boobies.”
Celia: “Some people would find them very refreshing.”
I know I was sleepy but to my ears, it sounded not unlike grown-ups, cruising the strip and debating which would be the best restaurant!
